The United States was in third place with $477 million.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mexican strawberry industry is dependent on U.S. demand: of all its strawberry exports last year, 99.3% went to the United States, which is the world\u2019s biggest importer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Spain largely exports to other European countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mexican market overcame obstacles caused by the Covid-19 pandemic such as the availability of manpower and the near disappearance of the food service industry, to which 15% of the fruit is normally sold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Demand remained robust amid producer fears that wider unemployment would make strawberries less attainable for consumers, because they are considered an impulse buy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In fact, the pandemic contributed to a rise in purchases of foods that are perceived as healthy, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. U.S. government contributions to unemployment checks and the one-time payment to taxpayers also helped support demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Mexico\u2019s strawberry market eclipsed the Belgian market in 2012, the Dutch in 2016, and the U.S. market in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Mexico News Daily Staff.
